Computation of the scattered fields from an arbitrary discontinuity on a perfectly conducting ground plane by a decomposition method

A novel procedure for solving plane wave incident on arbitrary bump or cavity geometries on a perfectly conducting ground plane is introduced. The method is presented with examples for transverse-magnetic polarization compared to various other solution methods. The proposed method can be easily generalized to other similar problems.
